Chapter 2194: Punching Cotton

Yet the suggestion from Young President Zhou only earned him a death-like glare from Jiang Mobai.

"Ahem, there's still work to do at the bar, I'll head back first!"

Young President Zhou slapped his own loose lips and turned to slip away.

Jiang Mobai withdrew his gaze and stood alone in the night.

Neon lights flickered all around.

The brilliant light, however, could not melt the gloom in his eyes.

The next day—

Su Kexuan had just walked out of the Hospital when she received a call from her assistant.

The assistant's voice was very excited: "You left a document at the bar yesterday, and their staff just delivered it to the company. Inside it… there was an extra internal file!"

"Internal file?"

"Yes, and it's..."

The assistant suddenly lowered their voice and said: "A government internal file, it has a stamp on it! It says here that the Dong Qu will indeed develop the Xin Qu, but I don't know how this thing got mixed into our materials."

The assistant was confused.

But Su Kexuan roughly knew what was going on.

Yet there was no look of joy on her face.

Su Kexuan said in a low voice: "Knowing now is already meaningless."

"Ah, why?"

"I just visited Director Tang, and he has already clearly told me that the Dong Qu will indeed be developed, but they already have a designated partner for the project we are working on."

This news caught the assistant off guard.

They gripped the phone and said anxiously: "Can't the two companies work on it together?"

"No, there would be a conflict of interest."

"Sigh, why is it so unlucky! Boss, do you think it could be Director Tang behind the scenes..."

Su Kexuan stopped the assistant's speculation: "He doesn't have that much ability; being able to leak some useful information is already his limit."

Hearing this, the assistant sighed deeply again, then muttered: "Then who is it, with such heaven-reaching means, to have seized the opportunity so early?"

"Dwelling on these things is useless; for us, we can only halt the project and cut our losses in time."

Halt the project...

These four words are easy to say.

But passing them back to the company will surely cause a bloodbath!

With the company's development, two factions have recently formed within it.

These two forces are fighting fiercely, even corrupting the company's atmosphere.

Su Kexuan has the intention to control the situation.

And securing the project was one of her measures.

To complete the project, the whole company would inevitably have to work together.

But now that the project has miscarried...

A new round of fighting will begin again...

Sigh!

The assistant couldn't help but sigh again.

And what they could think of, Su Kexuan could naturally think of too.

She hadn't slept well at all last night.

Now, her headache was even worse.

Raising her hand to press her temples, Su Kexuan arranged: "Call everyone at the vice-president level and above to the conference room; we will have a meeting as soon as I get back."

"Understood."

The assistant replied and hung up the phone.

It is foreseeable that there will surely be an invisible slaughter at the meeting.

The pressure Su Kexuan has to face is not small.

And Jiang Mobai on the other side was having an equally hard time.

He had already entrusted someone to scout out the internal news and sent it anonymously to Su Kexuan's company.

But he knew that even if he did this, the problem between him and Su Kexuan remained unresolved.

Jiang Mobai wanted to take care of Su Kexuan and wanted to be good to her.

But the final result was always contrary to his wishes.

Then... does his concern still have any meaning?

This question, like a curse, circled in Jiang Mobai's mind over and over again.

He couldn't think of an answer.

But the more he couldn't think of one, the more he obsessed over the result.

He seemed to have fallen into a demonic obsession.

Even while racing, he kept half his mind on thinking...

Someone in the headset said something.

Jiang Mobai seemed not to have heard, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and suddenly floored the accelerator!

Wang Zi was standing on the sidelines of the training track watching.

When a streak of red car shadow roared past, his head turned with the race car with a "whoosh"!

Good grief, I almost threw my neck out!

Wang Zi clutched his own neck and muttered, "Is Brother Mobai going crazy?"

The coach stood not far away, frowning.

One could tell from Jiang Mobai's performance that everything said to him before had been in vain! That guy hadn't listened to a single word!

Dark clouds gathered on the coach's face.

When the training session concluded and it was time for the summary, the coach specifically called out Jiang Mobai's name.

He heard him sternly question: "Why didn't you follow instructions? Do you think you're the only one needed in this team!"

Seeing the coach lose his temper, the others didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Mobai, however, did not harbor any resentment because of the coach's criticism.

On the contrary, he said with a very good attitude, "I will be careful next time."

"Careful next time? You said the same thing before, but you don't care at all! Jiang Mobai, if you have an opinion about me as a coach, you can say it directly; there's no need to feign compliance!"

"Please don't overthink it. I have no opinion of you; I just... want to return to my peak state as quickly as possible."

"There is still some time before the Grand Prix, what are you rushing for? Remember, haste makes waste!"

"Mm, I understand."

Jiang Mobai agreed with the coach verbally, and his attitude was also very amiable.

His head was even slightly bowed, assuming the appearance of listening earnestly.

Such a demeanor suddenly made the coach feel as if he had punched a pile of cotton.

There was truly nowhere to exert force!

Just as the coach was sulking, the team leader nudged him with an elbow, signaling him to calm down.

Afterwards, the team leader said to everyone, "There is one more thing I need to tell you all. In a few days, our racing team will have a Friendly Match with another racing team."

The team leader's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked up one after another.

The original intention of holding a Friendly Match was to refine the team's coordination and simulate the tense atmosphere of an official competition.

But this Friendly Match was a bit unusual.

Because...

The racing team's former coach happened to be coaching the other team in the Friendly Match!

Once the team leader finished the introduction, someone asked, "This arrangement isn't just a simple coincidence, is it?"

"I can only say it was destined by fate."

The team leader's words were very vague, yet they confirmed everyone's suspicions.

For a moment, the team members were all eager to have a go.

But some people had pessimistic thoughts, muttering, "If we lose, it would be too embarrassing..."

Before this person could finish his sentence, the coach raised his hand and punched him, shouting with great momentum: "Lose what lose? If you lose, I'll have the cafeteria serve only vegetarian dishes for an entire month next month!"

As soon as the coach said this, it immediately drew a chorus of wails.

The team members weren't afraid of punishment, but they were afraid of having no meat to eat!

Especially since they were currently eating and living with the racing team.

There was truly no opportunity to cook for themselves.

Amidst the chaotic noise, someone found another way and asked the coach, "Then if we win, is there a reward?"

Everyone immediately went silent and stared straight at the coach.

They heard the coach say, "Of course there is, I'll treat you all to a seafood feast!"

Whoa, a seafood feast?

That's a big move!
